Well, since the end of Winter I've been working on my CRX and it's finally coming together. There are only a few things (sort of) that I'm waiting on and after that I'll finally be able to piece it all together and finish up summer driving it. Im making the list of what I've done for it not only so you can see, but also so I know what I need to do since I never made an official list myself. I'll update this thread with pictures over the coming days and give updates to the progress as I'm quite excited about it.
First off, the engine was swapped out for a B16A so all parts mentioned are for a B-series.
ITR cams
Fidanza 7.5lb flywheel
Stage 2 clutch (with pressure plate and new throwout bearing)
YS1 Tranny (this tranny is short geared so it's more for acceleration, not top speed)
Moroso 5.5qt oil pan (is tapped if a turbo is ever added)
AEM Hybrid Cold Air Intake
Tein SS springs
KYB Struts
Buddy Club Spec II exhaust
JDM Valve cover (red crinkle coat)
Place Racing axles (waiting to get these...cost a bit more but I don't have to swap out my hubs for SI or DX ones)
FastBrakes 11 inch front rotors with upgraded calipers and new pads
15/16 Master Cylinder
Upgraded Brake booster (waiting for this, need one from a 91 Civic EX)
Rywire VTEC sub harness
Modded ECU (Limiter removed, 9000rpm red line)
Hasport Motor Mounts (getting new inserts for them)
Hasport B16 EF shift linkage
Unorthodox Underdrive Pulley
All new suspension in the front (upper and lower balljoints, inner and out tierod ends, control arms etc)
NRG-Cell Dry Cell Battery (so much lighter and smaller then the stock one)
NGK spark plugs
As for replacing OEM parts, I have new gaskets for the oil pan and valve cover. I bought a new thermostat, coolant switch, and distributor cap along with new plastic fender inserts,bump stops, various other gaskets for the lights and a few other things.
I need to find a oil pressure switch for the VTEC solenoid since mine is cracked and various vaccum and coolant hoses from the intake manifold since some of them were cracked as well. On my purchase list I still need:
Headers (DC sports maybe)
Strut Bar (Neuspeed possibly)
2 new front tires (old ones were Kumho Ecsta 205/40/16...I might be getting some thicker ones to put in the front due to the engine)
Aftermarket Tach
Sparkplug wires
I've put countless hours into cleaning the engine bay, engine, and all the parts included. A few days ago we put the starter and alternator back on after bolting the tranny up and making sure everything was in working order. We will put the distro on next and then once the mount inserts arrive we can drop it in and swap out the dented oil pan and really get started wiring everything up and swapping out parts. The install will be easier due to removing the A/C as well to not only lighten the car up but also save me money so I don't need to but the Hasport A/C bracket. I'm figuring the car will weigh around 2100lbs or so, maybe a little less...due to what we removed and the fact it's an HF.
If I think of anything else along the way I'll add it. Thanks for looking!
